The 4th Next Generation Animators Awards received an overwhelming response, with over two thousand enthusiastic entries from kindergarten and primary school students. Following a rigorous selection process by a professional judging panel, seventy-three outstanding works were chosen. Participating students demonstrated remarkable creativity, producing many unique and ingenious pieces that expressed their passionate concern for marine conservation through exceptional scriptwriting and rich visual storytelling. 🌊🎬

This year, the competition was honored to be sponsored by the Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR), and carried the theme of "Marine Conservation." Participants actively responded, fully unleashing their creativity and passion to craft a series of stunning stop motion animation works. These creations not only highlighted the extraordinary artistic talent of Hong Kong's younger generation but also showcased their adept use of biliteracy and trilingualism, along with their profound reflections on the importance of protecting marine ecosystems. 🐬🐳
